Oddly, April is very tall. Like as tall as Splinter and Shredder. And those two Foot have a hard time standing up, so they're leaning on each other.

...oh how I wish the basic assortment foot soldiers could pose like that. smh

Nonetheless, this is an awesome find! The mutagen canister dice is a cool idea...!

The swords on the Foot Soldiers and Leonardo look removable and Mikey's left arm looks posable? Any truth to that?
...and do you have a Basic Assortment Kraang? If so, does that "giant" Kraang fit in it?

I will buy this just for the Mohawk Kraang... if I can find it for msrp

Whoa. Awesome pics, Retro. Thanks for sharing those. That Kraang with a mohawk looks pretty damn sweet.

This is freaking awesome, dude!

But I'd be lying if I said my TNA Hogan figure never, ever dropped the leg on Jeff Jarrett from time to time still...

Oh yeah, I totally relate to this. See, I actually didn't have any WWF stuff as a kid - mother saw it as too violent (So of course, get the ninja turtles with weapons instead), even though my grandfather, whom we lived with, watched WWF every chance he got.

But, my best friend had a pretty substantial collection, and I remember those knock-off Hogans and Savage (More often than not, I'd play with toys they way they weren't intended. Came up with a way to use the WWF ring as a sling-shot to fling a guy at some other figurines on a shelf).

I think I had a large number of bootleg Transformers, and I can see they're still being sold at the dollar stores here. I will admit, I've been tempted more than once.

I really know what you mean about missing being a kid. I get myself obsessed with "retro" stuff just because it feels like a better time, makes you want to keep it alive.

Actually no, nothing moves or detaches on this figurines. Much too bad, eh?

I don't have any of the Nick figurines (yet) so I couldn't tell you if this Kraang would fit or not.

Cool find! Love the figures for the game, but as a long-time tabletop RPG gamer, I especially LOVE the mutagen canister die!! I've played D&D using some of those CrystalCaste hexagonal dice on occasion, and this reminds me of those, but it's so cute!! And did I mention that my hubby and I also collect unusual dice to use in our games? One of our favorites is a pair of six-sided standard dice- with a twist: one is all sixes, the other is all twos and fives. It's a "fixed" set of craps dice- always a seven or eleven with those babies, LOL!! But seriously, awesome buy, and I'm intrigued by the giant Kraang!

We have neighbours below us that collect some unique die as well, though the guy is into WoW, not tabletop. Nontheless, I've got to show him the mutagen canister dice. He's the one who is responsible for us getting back into TMNT (And for my wife getting into TMNT at all, for getting us to watch the OT's season 1 during a visit). Unfortunately this dice only has 1, 2 and 3.

Anyway, my wife and I tried out tabletop gaming once, with the Lord of the Rings set, in a mall (She's a big LotR fan). We almost bought the Mines of Moria set that day, and the store send us home with free figures of Gimli and Legolas that we got to paint.

Now with that in mind, after getting these figurines of TMNT in this book set, one thing comes to mind: invent a TMNT tabletop game! We were already considering drawing some new board games to go with the figures, since the playmat that came with it is relatively simple.

Awesome! I'm going to see if I could find this just for Mohawk Kraang
